On August 14, Southwest announced at least 20 routes and a new city: Knoxville. They are outlined later in the article. Three of them stand out for being particularly short: Milwaukee-Chicago Midway, Knoxville-Nashville, and Tucson-Phoenix.

At just 70 nautical miles (120 km) each way, Milwaukee to Chicago Midway is Southwest’s new second-shortest route system-wide.

From 2024 (YouTube Edition): Clinic Aimed to Promote Safe Aircraft Control The EAA Pilot Proficiency Center hosted an angle of attack (AOA) training clinic during the 2024 Oshkosh Airventure. The event aimed to teach attendees about what AOA indicators are and how they can be used to improve flight safety. AOA indicators have been around from the beginning. Even the Wright brothers had their own makeshift version: a piece of yarn fastened to the leading edge of the wing. As flight has grown more advanced, aviators realized how crucial AOA indicators are and began to install them in modern aircraft.…
